Information about the Sandcastle

The City Tourist Information office also operates in the Sandcastle area, where you can get brochures, maps, current information about places to visit, events and services in Lappeenranta region.

The Sandcastle area offers an extensive equipment rental that includes basic hiking gear giving tourists more opportunities to visit the archipelago and stay overnight in nature. In the summer, you can also take combined canoeing - floating sauna from the Sandcastle, or go on a fishing excursion.

In the Sandcastle area there's also a pop-up theme park complex Pomppulinnamaailma with bouncing castles and various amusement park rides plus a café and ice cream stand. After the Midsummer starts also the weekly programme full of activities.

The stunning Saimaa UNESCO Global Geopark sites are included in the new canoeing locations.


You can also use a city bike and explore Lappeenranta, one of the Europe´s greenest city!
